Chapter 241 The Wine Table
An Yan made an appointment with Tang Chao at 11:[-], and she and Zhou Weiyang came a little earlier.Since the clerk had hinted to Zhou Weiyang that Deputy District Chief Tang was used to talking with people alone, An Yan found a table by the window and sat down, and asked Zhou Weiyang to sit at another table a little further away, in case Unexpectedly.

An Yan did this not entirely because she was worried that Tang Chao would do something wrong to her, but because she didn't want to leave anyone with a reason to talk.After all, Lan Wufeng was not in the country, and she had a full meal with an official with a bad reputation. If there is no circumstantial evidence, it will always be an unclear matter in the future.

Not long after An Yan sat down, Tang Chao brought a few of his men over.Seeing An Yan, Tang Chao smiled all over his face and walked over with great strides.His subordinates were very knowledgeable, and like Zhou Weiyang, they found a table quite far away to sit down.Seeing this situation, An Yan couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Oh, it's Ms. An, I've known you for a long time." Tang Chao stretched out his fat hand to shake hands with An Yan.

An Yan had no choice but to reach out and shake Tang Chao.Tang Chao originally wanted to hold An Yan's hand for a while longer, but An Yan's movements were extremely fast, and before Tang Chao could react, she had already withdrawn her hand.

"Thank you District Chief Tang for the honor. I don't know the environment here, is District Chief Tang still satisfied?" An Yan told Tang Chao to sit down while talking about the scene.

The seat An Yan chose was the kind of train seat that faces each other. Two people can only sit on one side. Tang Chao has no condition to sit closer to An Yan.He turned his head to look at the lobby and said, "Miss An, it's too noisy here. I remember they have private rooms here."

An Yan shook her head: "No need. I asked, they only have three private rooms here, and they are all big tables. Is it too wasteful for the two of us to eat?"

Tang Chao heard some refusal from An Yan's words, and it was inconvenient to force it, so he just yelled loudly: "Our Nanjing is still too backward. It's already in the 80s, and we still run this kind of lobby-style restaurant. I think Guangdong The restaurants over there already have a lot of private rooms. If you go to a foreign country, they don’t have such a noisy big dining room at all, they are all small private rooms. Foreign countries respect personal privacy very much. We in China are really poor in this regard Too far."

Tang Chao's voice was so loud that the guests at the other table several steps away also heard it.There were three men at that table, one was in his early 30s, and the other two were older, about 40 or so. The person in his early 30s turned his head to look at An Yan's table, turned around and said something to his companion, and the three of them laughed softly together.

An Yan saw the behavior of the neighboring table and knew that they were talking about her own table.Although Tang Chao was ashamed, she also felt very embarrassed.Although she has never been abroad, at least she has seen some foreign movies and met some people who have been abroad. According to her impression, what Tang Chao mentioned was a foreign country full of private rooms, and it seemed that it was not a foreign country on the plane.

Fortunately, the waiter came over at this time, and An Yan quickly changed the topic. She took the menu from the waiter, handed it to Tang Chao, and said politely: "Major Tang, please order."

"Let's order Ms. An. Ladies first. Foreigners are very gentlemanly." Tang Chao said, before An Yan could answer, he raised his head and said to the waiter, "I'll order two first, and the rest Let this lady order the next one. You bring us a roasted duck with beer, a squirrel mandarin fish, a braised lion head, and a bottle of Yanghe Daqu. I won’t order the rest, ladies first.”

The waiter turned to An Yan dumbfounded: "Comrade, do you need to add any other dishes?"

In China at that time, the title Miss was not very popular, and waiters in restaurants were still accustomed to calling customers comrades.As for Tang Chao and Miss An, I don't know from which country he learned the gentlemanly demeanor, and An Yan can't argue with him.

Hearing the waiter's question, An Yan shook her head and said, "I think what he ordered is already very good...how about giving me some vegetables."

Various dishes were brought up one after another. Tang Chao asked the waiter for two two-liang large cups, and then he personally opened the bottle cap of Yanghe Daqu, insisting on pouring a full cup for An Yan.

An Yan evaded again and again: "Major Tang, I can't hold alcohol. Besides, I have an appointment with a client this afternoon. I'll just have a drink with you, half a glass, okay?"

Tang Chao pretended to be angry and said, "How can this be done? Only when the glass is full is it wholehearted. Could it be that Ms. An is half-hearted towards me?"

"Uh..." An Yan was speechless, she said yes, and it seemed that she couldn't.It seems that today is destined to be harassed by the District Chief Tang.

Seeing that An Yan didn't push back any more, Tang Chao said triumphantly as he poured the wine, "It doesn't matter, the amount of alcohol is something that can be learned slowly. You are a businessman, how can you not drink? I'll teach you. Come on, Manshang, let's touch one first."

Zhou Weiyang in the distance had already ordered a duck neck and a bottle of beer, and sat there slowly pouring himself a drink, never leaving An Yan's table for a moment.Seeing Tang Chao insisting on pouring An Yan with a liquor bottle, Zhou Weiyang stood up vigorously.In his memory, he had never seen An Yan drink, let alone drink in that kind of big two-two cup.He planned to rush over to drink the glass of wine for An Yan as soon as An Yan greeted him, and whether he would offend Tang Chao because of this was out of consideration.

An Yan's eyes were also constantly watching Zhou Weiyang. Seeing him standing up, An Yan quickly gave him a suggestive look to save him from being impulsive.Things haven't gotten out of hand yet, An Yan still wants to work harder.

"Major Tang, I...I really can't drink, how about I drink it several times, okay?" An Yan looked at Tang Chao and said in a begging tone.

Tang Chao had already drank a full glass of Yanghe Daqu in one gulp, and seeing An Yan sipping it, he felt very happy.He took a piece of duck and stuffed it into his mouth, then waved his hands and said, "Yes, yes, I respect lesbians very much. But you have to drink up this glass of wine."

An Yan took a deep breath, and slowly drank the white wine in the glass, her face suddenly flushed.In fact, she still has a certain amount of alcohol. Jiangnan Province has been a land of fish and rice in history, and the tradition of winemaking has a long history, so people in Jiangnan Province can't drink too much.Normally, she thinks that she is a girl who shows her face on the scene, and it would be too frivolous to exchange drinks with others, so Zhou Weiyang always takes the place of drinking.Because of this, even Zhou Weiyang didn't know An Yan's true drinking capacity.

An Yan was mentally prepared to be harassed by Tang Chao's words today. She had experienced such things before.It is very common for a young and beautiful businessman like her to be joked about in the shopping mall. Sometimes, she is surprised that her face can be so thick.

However, the unspoken rules back then were limited to this. In the era when cohabitation before marriage was considered treasonous, it was really rare for people who dared to go too far.

"Okay!" Tang Chao watched An Yan drink up the wine in the glass, clapped his hands and cheered, "Let me tell you, Miss An is the rose of our shopping mall in Nanjing, how can she not drink? This rose is for Water it with wine to make it red. Look, your face is red now, like an apple, making people feel greedy."

I'll bear it, I'll bear it... An Yan resisted the feeling of nausea, with a smile still on his face: "Major Tang, I really don't know how to drink. Today is really an exception. How about we talk about the store first ,OK?"

Tang Chao said: "There is nothing wrong with your store. It is an honor for our district to build such a large-scale store in our district. I have already told the people below that we must fully protect your rights and interests. Yes Whoever dares to embarrass you, just tell me."

An Yan echoed and said: "With District Chief Tang supporting us, of course we are not afraid of anything. However, I heard from Da Zhou of our unit that we have some troublesome inspections. It is estimated that the comrades of some unit have misunderstood. Can I trouble District Mayor Tang to help you talk about it?"

Speaking of this, An Yan put a small cloth bag on the table calmly, and gently pushed it in Tang Chao's direction.This small cloth bag is about half an inch thick, and with Tang Chao's eyes, he can naturally see the connotation in it.

The restaurant was noisy, and except for Zhou Weiyang, no one else paid attention to the movement of An Yan's table, so An Yan's small gesture didn't look very eye-catching.Tang Chao is also a person who is well versed in this way. He stretched out his bear paw and put the small cloth bag into his own bag.

Seeing that Tang Chao took the money, An Yan felt relieved.The current social atmosphere is like this, and she has no choice but to do it.From the point of view of the rules, if the other party accepts the money from her, they will naturally not embarrass Jiankang Electric anymore. The purpose of her trip can be regarded as accomplished.

"Major Tang, I'm a little dizzy, otherwise, I won't accompany you." An Yan pretended to be overwhelmed and said to Tang Chao.Now that the matter has been done, she doesn't want to sit here any longer.

Tang Chao waved his hand and said, "That's not okay, Miss An, we haven't had a drink yet."

An Yan said: "Major Tang, I really don't know how to drink. The drink just now has at least two or two drinks, which is already beyond my limit."

Tang Chao said: "It's okay. If you drink too much, you'll have to spit it out once, and you'll drink more in the future. We only drank half of this bottle of wine today. What's the matter? Come on, I'll fill you up again."

"How about, Chief Tang, I'll have another drink, and you'll take care of the rest, okay?" An Yan gritted her teeth and agreed.
